Staying safe during snake season
SUMMARY: As snake sightings increase with rising temperatures in central Virginia, experts advise caution during snake season. Snakes, including venomous copperheads, are common everywhere, especially in yards with long grass, leaves, or brush piles. There are no products that effectively repel snakes, but keeping yards manicured and minimizing rodent populations can reduce encounters. Copperheads are shy and generally avoid confrontation—if spotted, simply walk away. Pet owners should keep animals leashed and teach children snake safety. If bitten, seek immediate medical attention. For identification help, call the 24-hour Virginia Wildlife Management and Control hotline at 804-617-7086.
As the temperature rises, so do snake sightings in Central Virginia.
